For some it may seem unfair for the rich to win prizes that make them richer. It’s the poor who need these things much more desperate then the wealthier folks. But in the world of casinos and grand lotteries this principle doesn’t endure: it’s the opulent people that get the chance to play at these sources of possible fortunes. You need some cash in the first place to take part at these money spinning games. That’s why the extremely lucky ones that have the are also among the rich.
The rule was confirmed in early February this year when Tina Roberts hit the jackpot at the Georgia Lottery from Atlanta. She is a resident of Rome, not the capital of Italy, but the county seat of the Floyd County, situated in north-western Georgia. Her , consisting of 30,000 dollar cash was obtained through playing the Lucky Dog game in the above mentioned lottery.
Tina, who is the Owner of Paradise Grooming in Rome, obtained the ticket at the Favorite Market located on the New Calhoun Road, 7130 and it was this ticket that would fill her pockets. And to think that the ticket only came at a $2 prize, that really is a change.
The first thing that Tina remembered when she heard the great news was that her chances were very slim. The number of tickets out there is so great, the chances for each to win are the same, which means, very slim. This present comes for Tina at the age of 28, so she has a long time ahead to win some other prizes. She received the call announcing the gain whilst being in a car…a big gift for a rich woman you could say.
Tina Roberts was glad because the sum obtained will help her handle some pays she really has to make, like bills. Furthermore, she would like to purchase a new car with this money. But she doesn’t think only of herself, she’s no egoist. Big plans await her here children aged 12, 10 and 9. Every mother thinks to make her children a better life. Not only they are on the list for the spending of the new money, but also the pets at Paradise Grooming where she works. The services for the “costumers”-the cats and dogs arranged there- will offer more haircuts, baths and toenail trimmings. Indeed, Tina is an animal lover as well, not only a children lover. So, pets from every where, come to Rome to feel like kings! She said this kind of experience, winning, is really something special.
The Georgia Lottery Corporation also offers funds for education. A sum of $8.8 was allocated for this matter since its foundation. The Corporation helps students and the youngest. More than 1 million students took benefit of the HOPE Scholarship Programme financed by it and 790,000 four-year-olds of the Georgia Prekindergarden Programme also funded by Georgia Lottery.
